Rick Astley gets rickrolled on Reddit

JUN 2020

During a Reddit thread in June 2020, a user told Astley they had met him backstage aged 12 and posted what was framed as a photo of the two of them. The link was a rickroll. Astley replied 'I salute you!', and the exchange became Reddit's most upvoted post of 2020: the meme's originator caught by his own prank.
